2024年1月29日, 一名验尸官裁定16岁的Niamh McNally死于利梅里克大学医院, A coroner has ruled the death of 16-year-old Niamh McNally at University Hospital Limerick on January 29, 2024, was a medical misadventure due to multiple missed opportunities in her care. 尽管已知先天性心脏病、严重呼吸困难和咳嗽血症状严重,但及时的心脏病评估推迟了9天,诊断检测被认为不足。 Despite a known congenital heart condition and symptoms of severe breathing difficulties and coughing up blood, timely cardiology evaluation was delayed by nine days, and diagnostic tests were deemed inadequate. 她死于窒息,死因是肺出血,很可能是副动脉破裂。 She died from asphyxiation caused by a pulmonary hemorrhage likely from a ruptured collateral artery. 她的家人说,她的担忧被忽视了,她的最后一句话是“马米,我喘不过气来 ” 。 调查揭示了系统性的失败,HSE做出了道歉和15项改革建议。 Her family said concerns were ignored, and her final words were “Mammy, I can’t breathe.” The inquest revealed systemic failures, with the HSE issuing an apology and 15 recommendations for change. 这是UHL在不到一年的时间里发生的第三个类似案件,引起人们对病人安全和医院问责制的关切。 This marks the third similar case at UHL in under a year, raising concerns over patient safety and hospital accountability.
